About Spott

AI-native ATS/CRM for recruiting firms

The role

**About Spott** Spott is a YC-backed AI startup with its office in Leuven, Belgium. We are on a mission to transform the recruitment industry, by making recruiting faster, smarter and more efficient. Together, we’re building the first AI-native recruitment platform (ATS & CRM) that empowers professional recruiters to close significantly more placements.   **Why?** Recruitment is an $700B+ industry still running on outdated methods. The biggest players are slow to innovate. Spott isn’t a tool that will be added to legacy software, it is a full reset. We are the system of record. AI-driven, fast, scalable, and personal. And we’re here to take over.   **What We’re Looking For** To help us achieve our mission we’re looking for a Software engineer, especially Backend. We are product-obsessed. Everything we create needs to be better than any existing version of it on the market - and you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that standard is upheld. ✔️ You have a Master’s degree in IT/Computer Science/Software Engineering and at least 2 years of experience in backend development. ✔️ Passion for solving complex technical challenges and designing scalable software solutions. You understand technical tradeoffs and make pragmatic decisions. ✔️ Experience building AI-driven applications (e.g. prompt engineering and/or fine-tuning experience are a plus). ✔️ A growth mindset - eager to learn, experiment, and expand your knowledge.   **What You’ll Do** ✔️ You'll be focused on back-end development of our recruitment platform, working mainly with Typescript and Node.js. ✔️ You’ll work on core product features and Backend code improvements, ensuring all systems can support the growth of our customer base. ✔️ Take part in product refinement, brainstorming, prioritization sessions and impact both WHAT and HOW we build. ✔️ Work in a supportive, open, and fast-moving environment where you can learn and grow quickly.   **What We Offer** **✔️** Competitive salary and generous stock options. ✔️ An exciting opportunity to work with the latest technologies and AI models on challenging problems, from a technical and business logic perspective. ✔️ A role with a lot of responsibility, ownership, and tangible impact, within a highly ambitious team. ✔️ A flexible work environment that accommodates your needs with flexible hours and hybrid working - we aim for at least 3 days per week in the office. ✔️ Great team vibe with regular dinners, sports activities and international offsites. ✔️ The chance to grow with us and achieve your career aspirations.
